2016 sentenced to 5 years imprisonment by Justice Deborah
Oluwayemi. Ibinabo was visibly apprehensive throughout the
proceeding and burst into tears immediately the judgment was
delivered.
Actress Ibinabo Fiberesima has been slammed a 5-year jail term by The
Court of Appeal in Lagos on Friday. Justice Jamilu Yammama Tukur
delivered the decision on Friday, saying that the appeal was shallow and
lacked merit.
She (Ibinabo) was alleged to have knocked down a staff of Lagos State
hospital, Giwa Suraj as a result of reckless driving on the Lekki-Epe
Expressway in February, 2006.
The Nollywood actress had already been fined N100,000 by a Magistrate
court, a decision that was overruled by the High Court. Justice
Oluwayemi of the trial Court replaced the fine with a five year jail term,
saying that the Magistrate exercised "judicial recklessness" by giving
the option of a fine.
She appealed the case, but according to Vanguard newspaper, her appeal
was dismissed; thus setting her on the path to a 5-year jail term.
